Another Dem Loses it at Town Hall

Jul 12, 2010

RUSH: Another Democrat has lost his temper at a town hall meeting, and doing what this guy did lost an election for Rick Lazio. Last Tuesday Representative Ciro Rodriguez (Democrat-Texas) had this exchange with some audience members at his town hall meeting.

WOMAN 1: Well, tell the truth, then.

RUSH: Whoaaaaa! He’s upset! Another Democrat in a town hall meeting being accused of not being honest with his constituents and waving a piece of paper at them. It’s going to be, folks, a bloodbath when November comes around.
